Nourishing Our Students for Success
At Xavier Jesuit Academy, proper nutrition is essential for academic excellence and the holistic development of our young men. We are proud to participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), ensuring that all students have access to nutritious, well-balanced meals that fuel their minds and bodies for learning. We serve breakfast, lunch, and after school meals to our students throughout the school day.
Our Commitment to Student Wellness
In line with our Jesuit tradition of cura personalis (care for the whole person), XJA provides healthy meal options that support our students' physical development alongside their intellectual, spiritual, and emotional growth. Our participation in the NSLP reflects our commitment to removing barriers to education and ensuring every student can focus on becoming a "Man for Others."
